seepex renovates its data center for being well-prepared for global growth

"We have been working with the Fujitsu SELECT expert partner SVA System Vertrieb Alexander for a number of years, and have always had a positive experience with them. The employees are very service-oriented and are always fast and flexible when it comes to finding solutions, even if it means occasionally going through the ‘unofficial channels’. We look forward to continuing the relationship"

Roland Rottländer,
Head of Data Processing, seepex GmbH

The challenge

Extending the existing maintenance contracts for the hardware already in place was no longer financially viable. The company wanted to increase reliability by mirroring the systems.

The solution

Two FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX300 S8s and two FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX410s with Intel® Xeon® processors, spread across two data centers for central data storage at the headquarters in Bottrop.
